# Dependency Version Fix ## Issue `ImportError: huggingface-hub>=0.19.3,<1.0 is required for a normal functioning of this module, but found huggingface-hub==1.1.4` ## Root Cause Version conflict between `transformers` and `huggingface-hub`. The `transformers` 4.x series requires `huggingface-hub<1.0`. ## Solution ### Option 1: Fresh Install (Recommended) ```bash # Remove existing packages pip uninstall -y huggingface-hub transformers sentence-transformers # Reinstall with correct versions pip install -r requirements_gradio.txt ``` ### Option 2: Force Correct Versions ```bash # Install specific compatible versions pip install "huggingface-hub>=0.19.3,<1.0" "transformers>=4.36.0,<5.0" ``` ### Option 3: Use Virtual Environment (Best Practice) ```bash # Create fresh environment python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate # Install all dependencies fresh pip install -r requirements_gradio.txt ``` ## Verification After fixing, verify the installation: ```bash python -c "import transformers; import huggingface_hub; print(f'transformers: {transformers.__version__}'); print(f'huggingface-hub: {huggingface_hub.__version__}')" ``` Expected output: ``` transformers: 4.36.x or higher (but <5.0) huggingface-hub: 0.19.x - 0.99.x (but <1.0) ``` ## For Hugging Face Spaces The `requirements_gradio.txt` has been updated with correct version constraints: ```txt huggingface-hub>=0.19.3,<1.0 transformers>=4.36.0,<5.0 ``` When you push to HF Spaces, it will automatically use the correct versions. ## Why This Happened The original `requirements_gradio.txt` had: - `huggingface-hub==0.26.2` (pinned) - `transformers==4.45.0` (pinned) These are compatible, but if pip resolved dependencies differently or if there was a cached version, it might install `huggingface-hub>=1.0`, which breaks `transformers` 4.x. ## Fixed Version Constraints Now using version ranges for better compatibility: - `huggingface-hub>=0.19.3,<1.0` - Compatible with transformers 4.x - `transformers>=4.36.0,<5.0` - Modern enough for features, <5.0 for compatibility ## Still Getting Errors? ### Error: "No module named 'transformers'" ```bash pip install transformers ``` ### Error: "No module named 'sentence_transformers'" ```bash pip install sentence-transformers ``` ### Error: Version conflict persists ```bash # Nuclear option - remove all and reinstall pip freeze | xargs pip uninstall -y pip install -r requirements_gradio.txt ``` ## Testing After fixing, test the import: ```bash python -c "from app.orchestrator import Orchestrator; print('✓ All imports successful')" ``` If successful, you'll see: ``` ✓ All imports successful ``` ## Running the App ```bash # Start the Gradio app python app.py ``` The app should now start without import errors!
